Yes, communism is whatever you want it to be. I'm actually an anarchist myself, that's why I want to use the state to repress the counter-revolutionaries
China is trying to use a state to transition to communism (which highlights what I've already said about not only ML's agreeing with the use of the state). If China was trying to achieve a stateless society through anarchist methods, and rejected state power in all circumstances, they wouldn't be called communist. The communist party also does use a Marxist understanding of economics, they of course don't agree with Marx on everything, but that was never required, Marxism is meant to evolve after all.
You also mentioned the linguistic usage of the term, which is what I was mainly arguing from, 1000 or so comments ago. Throughout history, those who call themselves communists have very different methods to those who call themselves anarchists, and violence has broken out between the two groups over their differences. Maybe you and some other guys online call yourselves anarcho-communists, but in any revolutionary time, there has been a stark contrast between those calling themselves communists and those calling themselves anarchists.

But you're giving me less than no reason to do that

Damn, guess our comrades who don't have English as their first language aren't welcome here
